Teaches me I can be anything; a lazy teenager waiting on a train
A confused twenty year old missing life's opportunities
An embittered thirty year old who half-heartedly tried in vain
A silent and dull forty year old sitting in front of the TVs

I'm right on the edge of the platform
Somewhere someone is talking but I don't listen
I'm a modern man in a world of cartoon norms
Whose learned everything from a television
I experience what I see and I always conform
Teaches me I can be anything; a lazy teenager waiting on a train
A confused twenty year old missing life's opportunities
An embittered thirty year old who half-heartedly tried in vain
A silent and dull forty year old sitting in front of the TVs
Anything really
Really
